“…Known kinase substrates were also identified: (i) the anti–anti sigma factor RsbV on S57 as previously observed ( 22 , 51 ), likely by the anti–sigma and kinase factor, RsbW, which was also phosphorylated on S89; (ii) the HPr protein of the PTS on S45 in agreement with data obtained in vivo ( 22 ), and in vitro using purified HPr and HPr-kinase proteins ( 52 ) and on S11 as found in B. subtilis ( 22 , 53 , 54 ). As previously observed in other firmicutes ( 20 ), we found that the phosphoglutamine mutase, GlmM, which is involved in PG biosynthesis, was phosphorylated on S100 located at its active site and that the transition phase regulator, CodY, was phosphorylated on several residues including S216 shown as phosphorylated in Bacilli ( 55 ). Interestingly, toxin A, TcdA, is phosphorylated on multiple S residues ( supplemental Table S3 ).…”
